The Kansas Humane Society is excited to participate in the ASPCA’s $100,000 Challenge. We can win with your support!
During this unique contest, the Kansas Humane Society will compete against 49 other animal shelters across the country to save at least 300 more animals—during the months of August, September, and October 2010—than over the same three-month period in 2009.
“In the United States, 60 percent of households have a cat or dog, yet 80 percent of these households did not adopt their pet from a shelter,” said ASPCA President & CEO Ed Sayres. “The ASPCA $100K Challenge challenges shelters to mount their best efforts and innovative new approaches for providing positive outcomes for homeless animals, by getting pets adopted, reuniting lost pets with their owners, or transferring pets to adoption partner organizations.”
The shelter that achieves the greatest increase in lives saved during that three-month period over last year will receive a $100,000 grant from the ASPCA to continue their lifesaving work. A second grant of $25,000 will be awarded to the shelter that engages the largest number of community members in helping to save more lives.
How will we use the grant? To save more animal lives and support our vision of ending the euthanasia of adoptable pets by 2014.
We’ve got a whole bunch of awesome events and promotions planned to help us win the $100,000. We are excited to participate in this contest and hope you will join our efforts! The ASPCA $100K Challenge hopes to build on that work by inspiring shelters and their communities to innovate and act to save more lives.
